Research notes

Created 2026-10-24 by an AI research pass for #103 (A1); not reviewed by a person. Start year is the earliest dated material (March 2024). The country list comes from a search snippet, not a page opened; ASAP's World Sleep Day page says six countries without naming them. A 2026 follow-up event, One Billion Voices for Sleep Apnea (7 May 2026), was seen only in search results. To verify: start year 2024; number of partner countries; 2026 event date.
